The triplets need haircuts...

When the boys need haircuts we have a few options:

1. Take all of them - Not really an option. We did this once in Dallas and it was a beating:)2. Stay at home with two and take one - But when both the boys need haircuts this costs too much gas.3. Stay at home with one and take two - This is a tough option for the person that takes them.4. Go with all three but keep two in the van - I like this one!

We have done this a couple of times. This time I entertained the William and Addison in the van with the van's headphones.... they were intrigued! In the one of both of them you can see the CFO bringing Jackson back after his haircut.

Addison has yet to have a haircut:)

A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain.Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)

You said in another post that you are trying to save money. If you and the CFO learn to cut the kids & each others hair, now that will save you lots of money and possibly your sanity. [grin]

Also, you might check out: www.thegrocerygame.com Ask all of your friends to send you coupons. Cloth diapers (the old fashioned kind with pins and a cover) will save you a ton of money too; even though they are two now, you still have night time and naps where you'll need diapers.

Why I stay at home with three year old Triplets....

#1 We always said we did not want to have a child (who knew we would have three) just to let someone else raise them. Here are some other reasons that I no longer work "outside the house."

I don't want someone else putting their morals and values on our kids.

They may not do as I ask but... Just try putting an employee in the corner for time out

I am now virtually guaranteed a nap most days.

The Triplets may cry, hit and bite but... You can't make most employees happy by turning on Sesame StreetI know this sounds SWEET but keep in mind....

There are NO days offYou get NO sick daysYou work weekends12+ hour daysYou cannot fire a child, you can an employee:)

My background

I worked in Corporate America for 14 years then everything changed with the birth of triplets in 2006; Jackson, Addison, and William. After having a GREAT Nanny while living in TX I decided to stay at home with the kids after my wife received a promotion to Birmingham, Alabama. I have not regretted the decision one day.
